The acoustic phonon-mediated drag-contribution to the drag current created in the ballistic transport regime in a one-dimensional nanowire by phonons generated by a current-carrying ballistic channel in a nearby nanowire is calculated. The…

Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal materials have been intensively explored for multiple optoelectronic applications such as spin current generation, all-optical valleytronics, and topological electronics. In the realm of strong-field and…

Photogalvanic effect (PGE) occurs in materials with non-centrosymmetric structures when irradiated by linearly or circularly polarized light. Here, using non-equilibrium Green's function combined with density functional theory (NEGF-DFT),…

The interactions between electrons and phonons drive a large array of technologically relevant material properties including ferroelectricity, thermoelectricity, and phase-change behaviour. In the case of many group IV-VI, V, and related…

We propose a new approach to calculate current and current correlations in a ballistic quantum point contact interacting with a classical field. The approach is based on the concept of scattering states for a time dependent Hamiltonian…

Analogous to the Spin-Hall Effect (SHE), {\it ab initio} electronic structure calculations reveal that acoustic phonons can induce charge (spin) current flowing along (normal to) its propagation direction. Using Floquet approach we have…

Born effective charge (BEC), a fundamental quantity in lattice dynamics and ferroelectric theory, provides a quantitative measure of linear polarization response to ionic displacements. However, it does not account for higher-order effects,…

Noncentrosymmetric bulk crystals generate photocurrent without any bias voltage. One of the dominant mechanisms, shift current, comes from a quantum interference of electron wave functions being distinct from classical current caused by…

An alternative description of quantum scattering processes rests on inhomogeneous terms amended to the Schroedinger equation. We detail the structure of sources that give rise to multipole scattering waves of definite angular momentum, and…

Steady illumination of a non-centrosymmetric semiconductor results in a bulk photovoltaic current, which is contributed by real-space displacements (`shifts') of charged quasiparticles as they transit between Bloch states. The shift induced…

Models of organic bulk heterojunction photovoltaics which include the effect of spatially varying composition of donor/acceptor materials are developed and analyzed. Analytic expressions for the current-voltage relation in simplified cases…

Developing simplified, but accurate, theoretical approaches to treat heat transport on all length and time scales is needed to further enable scientific insight and technology innovation. Using a simplified form of the Boltzmann transport…

We report on the observation of photogalvanic effects in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) with a twist angle of 0.6{\deg}. We show that excitation of tBLG bulk causes a photocurrent, whose sign and magnitude are controlled by orientation of…

We observe non-perturbative high harmonic generation in solids driven by a macroscopic quantum state of light, bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), which we generate in a single spatiotemporal mode. The BSV-driven process is considerably more…

We analyze the effects of a doubly charged vector bilepton as well as exotic quarks with charge 5/3 e and -4/3 e on light by light scattering. We consider mass values in the range 0.3--1 TeV, which would be reached at the planned future…

Following the recent discovery of a bulk photovoltaic effect in the Pb[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.68Ti0.32]O3 crystal, we report here more than one order of magnitude improvement of photovoltaicity as well as its poling dependence in the related…

Photogalvanic effect (PGE) occurring in noncentrosymmetric materials enables the generation of the open-circuit voltage that is much larger than the bandgap, making it rather attractive in solar cells. However, the magnitude of the PGE…

The process of coherent creation of particle - hole excitations by an electric field in graphene is quantitatively described beyond linear response. We calculate the evolution of current density, number of pairs and energy in ballistic…

The bulk photovoltaic effect is an example of a non-linear optical response that leads to a DC current that is relevant for photo-voltaic applications. In this work, we theoretically study this effect in the presence of electron-phonon…

This article reviews the theory of electron-phonon interactions in solids from the point of view of ab-initio calculations. While the electron-phonon interaction has been studied for almost a century, predictive non-empirical calculations…
